Thanks KeithP! 

I haven't received any documentations from either the claimant/ solicitor yet - I have just chase the solicitor via email for the CRP 31 request. Should I be chasing excel parking for the SAR too? 

KeithP

Why are you using CPR 31?

Coupon-mad

Do the SAR to Excel, calm down and read the 2nd post of the NEWBIES thread and the template defence thread, and then read ten or more claim/ defence threads here.  No searching, just click on thread titles and find the most recent ten or a dozen, and read them and see what other people have done.

Copy what they did.

someone on the other forum has advised me to send a CPR 31.14 to the solicitors and SAR to excel.

Oh god.  This is a small claim, so you always need to cross-reference the rules specific to those claims.

Extent to which other Parts apply

27.2

(1) The following Parts of these Rules do not apply to small claims –

(a) Part 25 (interim remedies) except as it relates to interim injunctions(GL);

(b) Part 31 (disclosure and inspection);

KeithP

I agree with you @Johnersh, but the theory expounded over on Pepipoo is that this case isn't on any track, Small Claims or otherwise, at the moment.

well lucky I also posted a SAR to the legal firm. However they still not replied - so I have send them a follow up email today to chase. 

I guess I should be doing the same for the excel parking too?

You didn’t want a SAR from the solicitor anyway.

Anyone has a calendar month (30 days) to respond to a SAR.  If you do not receive your data by then, complain to the ICO.  As @Coupon-mad writes, the legal types won't have anything worth sending to you that the PPC don't have.

would it make my defence weaker if I don't get the documents from SAR in time ?
